Scientists have developed a clever new way to trap “forever chemicals” in water using nano-sized cages that lock onto PFAS molecules. Unlike current methods, this approach can capture short-chain PFAS—the hardest type to remove. Tests show it can eliminate up to 98% of these pollutants and still work after multiple uses. The discovery could lead to more effective water filtration systems worldwide.
